I said no to surgery and healed my knee naturally. Here is the ligament tear in knee home remedy that worked for me! I used essential oils, rehab exercise, supplements, and diet. Find out my favorite essential oil for knee pain as well as everything else I did. If you have healed a knee naturally, I would love to hear what worked for you.
How I Healed My Knee Naturally
I've gotten emails with questions about how I healed my knee injury naturally ever since this post was shared in 2014. Since then, I've re-injured this knee, injured my other knee (this time a minor ligament tear), and recovered and now my husband is recovering from the same injury.
I thought I would take a moment to update this post and share what I've learned about how you can heal a knee injury naturally.
Please note that this is my personal experience and not intended to me medical advice. I am simply sharing my story in hopes that is helps others who are interested in how to heal a torn meniscus naturally.
Always consult your health practitioner.
If you’ve been following for long, you may remember that when Skye was about two months old, I had a severe knee injury. I couldn’t walk.
Getting up and down was so difficult that I wasn’t able to lift her from her cradle by the bed into the bed to feed her. My husband had to get up at every feeding and hand her to me. During the day, I was parked on the much lower couch.
Having a new baby is never easy. But having one and losing your mobility is devastating.
I felt lost and scared, as I watched my weight creep up a bit. (Up until that point I’d been doing well with my weight loss.) Nothing like sitting on the couch all day to stop any movement on the scale.
Since I had free time on my hands, I begin searching for a ligament tear in knee home remedy that might work for me.
Can You Heal a Knee Injury Naturally?
I tried everything. Ice. Heat. Ice and heat rotating. I ground of Fenugreek seeds into a paste and wore them under a wrap all day. (It looked like something from Skye’s diaper, but I was desperate.) I wore a brace. I tried castor oil packs.
Despite everything, I still couldn’t bend my knee, which meant that most rehab exercises were out. I wasn't healing.
The swelling was so bad that only my loosest pants around the knees or shorts would work.
I was told that surgery for my partial ACL, MCL, and ligament tear was the only solution.
Since I was nursing, I didn’t feel that was a viable option, so I suffered on. This went on for months.
I was miserable. Fortunately, Skye wasn’t mobile, but taking care of her was still harder than it should have been. I’d always been blessed with extreme flexibility and the ability to sit on the floor comfortably as an adult. Both of those things were gone, which meant playing with her was a struggle once she started sitting up.
I can't tell you how this impacted me emotionally. All three of my children needed a healthy mommy! This knee injury was throwing me into a very deep depression.
I continued to research how to heal a torn meniscus naturally, and I found a little bit of encouragement.
About that time, I started hearing a lot about essential oils for knee pain and healing. I also read that cleaning my diet and taking supplements might be able to help.
Could essential oils help me heal my knee injury naturally? Could supplements help?
Though I was skeptical that anything would have an impact, I decided to go all-in and give everything a try.
I was still hobbling around with a swollen knee covered in poop-look-alike (fenugreek paste) hoping to at least ease the pain, so if someone had suggested walking on hot coals would help I would have gone for it.
How to Heal a Torn Meniscus Naturally
From my experience, it takes more than one approach to heal a knee naturally. This is what I did:
Essential Oils
Supplements
Exercises / Rehab
Clean Diet
As an Amazon Associate and Plant Therapy Affiliate I earn from qualified purchases.
The Quality of The Essential Oils You Use Matters!
After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I've fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They have a large line of organic oils and are serious about safety. Every single batch is tested to ensure purity!
I believe that essential oils played a key role in helping me get better. Prior to this injury, I had almost no experience with oils. To say that I fell in love with them is an understatement.
(click thru for the specific oils I recommend.)
Wintergreen: Contains 99% methyl salicylate, which gives it cortisone-like properties. Supports discomfort that is related to inflammation of bones, muscles, and joints. This is my favorite essential oil for knee pain! (Wintergreen should be avoided by anyone with seizures.)
Peppermint: Anti-inflammatory properties helps damaged tissues. Has a soothing and cooling effect.
This roller bottle blend is intended for adults. These oils should never be used undiluted, and Wintergreen should be avoided by those with seizures.
Add the oils to the roller bottle
Fill the roller bottle with 5 drops each of Wintergreen, Peppermint, German Chamomile, and Helichrysum.
Add your carrier oil
Fill the remainder of the bottle with a carrier oil and cover with the roller bottle lid.
Apply
Apply to the area 4 times a day.
Layering Essential Oils for Knee Pain and Healing
I layered on the Lemongrass and Frankincense two to three times a day. You can read about why you would want to layer versus blend here. These are the two that worked for me, but play around with it and see what works for you. Don't forget to dilute with a carrier oil!
Supplements & Other Remedies That Helped
Turmeric: The curcumin contained in turmeric is can help to reduce going pain and swelling. Long-term studies have shown that it can reduce blood levels of inflammatory chemicals. You can get it on Amazon.
Ginger Extract: Ginger is a great way to decrease pain and inflammation. I take 250mg of ginger extract four times a day to help with knee pain.
Glucosamine Sulfate: This is found naturally in the fluid around the joints. It can help to rebuild lost cartilages and prevent the breakdown of cartilage and fluid in joints.
Epsom Salts: I use Epsom salt baths on a regular basis to help to relax tight muscles. It has detoxifying powers which can work to ease joint pain. Try two cups of Epsom salts in a warm bath - I like to add in Lemongrass and Frankincense Essential Oils.
Arnica: Arnica has anti-inflammatory compounds as well as a compound called helenin which is a natural analgesic.
How I Progressed
Truthfully, I was just hoping for a little relief from the knee pain.
I'd already accepted the fact that surgery was going to be in my future. In fact, we'd planned to leave the beach and return to Scottsdale because I felt more comfortable with the doctors there than in the tiny beach-side town we were in.
(I've had surgery twice in my life and both times have had issues with anesthesia that turned what should have been day stays into three or more nights in the hospital.)
What happened was nothing short of astounding.
After the first few days, I was able to move my knee a little better and was more comfortable. This led me back to these knee exercises, which I'd been attempting without success for months. (You can probably also just google knee rehab exercises.)
They weren't easy, but for the first time, I was able to push through them. I felt hope.
I can't say that it happened overnight, but I began seeing consistent improvement, and that was enough for me. All in all, I went from unable to walk to about 80% over the course of two months. It was another three months before I was at 95% and could say that I had healed my knee injury naturally.
Key Points to Heal a Knee Naturally
You must be consistent. This isn't the kind of thing you can do when you remember and hope for the best. If you can't be consistent you need to accept that natural remedies may not work for you.
Consider your diet. Diet is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL to healing. I recommend a clean diet that eliminates inflammation as much as possible. No processed food. Stay away from triggers. (Mine are gluten and soy.)
You Can't Skip the Exercises. Everything else can help to reduce inflammation to the point that you can rehab your knee, but you are still going to have to do the work.
Don't Skip Supplements. The oils didn't HEAL my knee. The supplements didn't HEAL my knee. They, along with a good diet helped reduce the inflammation to the point I could rehab it.
Update:
These days, I'm able to work out without restriction. The only thing I really can't do without discomfort is put direct pressure on my knee. (As you do when you do a push-up from the knees.). I honestly never thought I'd do a lunge or squat again. I can. Recently, I added Kettlebells to the mix.
I am so glad I said no to surgery and began searching for home remedies for ligament tear in knee. I know that essential oils for knee pain and healing combined with supplements, diet and rehab won't work for everyone, but I am so grateful that they worked for me.
If you have ever healed a knee naturally or have a ligament tear in knee home remedy that has worked for you, I'd love to hear your story!
Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a cook, 5 time cookbook author, blogger, photographer…and most importantly a mom. My boys are 19 & 20 and my late life princess is 12.
Hey! Thanks a lot for this post! My boyfriend is going to try to do this with other stuffs so I wanted to make him the essential oil roll-on and I was just wondering in how much carrier oil you dilute them pls?
🙂
For a 10ml rollerbottle for general use, you want to use about 10 drops of essential oils and fill it the rest of the way with a carrier. Since this may be something acute, you can increase that to 20 drops of essential oils and then fill the roller bottle the rest of the way.
Hi I guess I’m just one more suffering from the same kind of knee injury and since I have a vacation coming up two years in the making I need to get better ASAP I am using
Essential oils
Collagen
MSN
Turmeric
Ginger
Juicing
EFT
chiropractor
Red light therapy
Boost vitamin/minerals
Rife frequency machine for accelerated healing and last but not least reflexology
Got hurt last Thursday and I have to say honestly I am about 40% better!!
All great things to use! I love Turmeric and take Collagen every day. And I don't know what I'd do without my chiropractor - she has even adjusted my knee.
i need help to heal my knees. i am in my later years,no drugs but the shots are organic however i need the right oils your site is awsome and i have been with drugs for a long long time. the shots are organic and help me so far.NO OPERATION . THANKS
Wendy! Thank you for this blog post! Five days ago, I tore my MCL in my right knee (grade 1) and my ACL and MCL in the left knee (grade 2 and grade 3, respectively). I've been using these oils and the right is already feeling pretty close to normal. The left will take way longer, and I'm so encouraged by your story of healing naturally, without surgery. You give me hope! Thank you, thank you, for sharing this information.
I would love to buy these oils pre mixed in a roller ball or something of the sort... I’m waiting on my mri to come back but I have been in pain for three months. Would you sell the mixture ? Or do you know of anyone who sells mixed oils? I don’t know enough about them to try and start mixing them . Please & thank you
Hello, Wendy, thank you for sharing your story. Two health food stores near me do not carry chamomile but one has blue tansy. I looked it up and it is not a chamomile but do you know if it can be substituted? I'm going to mix the other without the blue tansy and use that and hope to hear from you. Thank you.
Yes - I think that is a good substitute. Just be careful with the blue tansy because it is...BLUE. So don't put it on and then go sit on your white couch before it soaks in completely.
So happy to hear you are feeling and doing better. Did your tear actually heal? Just curious. It is my understanding that tears cannot be healed and you mentioned you still can't put direct pressure on the knee. That sounds like the tear is still there. My daughter was unable to put direct pressure on her knee until she had the surgery.
Hello Wendy,
Where do I begin?
If my knee can recover form three types of injuries, imagine how the rest of our body can heal when afflicted with illnesses and disease?
I hope my story can help someone else in a similar situation because they say: Knowledge = Power.
On the 19th September, 2020, I was walking down the corridor of our home and I felt a slight twist in my left knee with a click of the joint.
Initially, I was walking and had no discomfort.
Then two weeks after incident, my dad went in hospital and I was doing a lot of running around. I think I over did it?
To make matters worse, I then proceeded to use all sorts of devices from knee braces, adjustable knee strap, and compression bandage to creams to make the problem I created better. I failed dismally. Because I did not have a proper diagnosis, I was using braces that were not suitable for my type of injury.
The following few weeks, were a nightmare. I was in:
- considerable amount of pain
- had considerable stiffness/swelling of the knee
- felt like knee was locked, hence the limitation of movement. Not being able to walk without a wide range of movement, made the pain in knee unbearable.
- any slight pivoting, sudden twist or pressure/force put on that knee, made knee condition unbearable, where I was unable to walk from one room to another.
-only relief I have benefitted from was when I placed my leg on a cushion at night with a heat pack and applying Pain Away for joint and muscle pain
-Initially I took aspirin for pain relief. It upset my stomach, gave me a feeling of the room spinning around and had been giving me chest discomfort. Since I have stopped taking aspirin- I have had no further issues.
I thought I would be on the road to recovery however, my knee issues got worse.
Everyone insisted I go see a GP however, I kept telling everyone that the body can heal itself.
I kept saying to everyone that: patience, time and rest are the quintessential factors to recovery. No one believed me!
Anyway, I attended a Medical Practice that was close to my home.
The friendly GP conducted a few physical examinations of my left knee, by moving it in different positions to ascertain where the pain was coming from. They concluded that I may have:
-meniscus tear?
-MCL sprain
-ACL sprain
-meniscus moved out of place??
-believes the knee is locked and this is why he believes I am loosing range of motion.
GP wanted me to have MRI and X-rays and recommended me to see an orthopaedic surgeon to sew tear in meniscus and do an arthroscopy. They informed me that if I did nothing I would be in a wheel chair for a year or so. I proved that theory incorrect!
Due to my poor health, (I suffer MFS/fibromyalgia), I had opted to treat it conservatively despite medical opinion, stating otherwise!
Instead of doing what the GP recommended me to do, I went to see a lovely physiotherapist.
Since I saw the physiotherapist, I had noticed a slight improvement.
When I first saw them, they wrote a brief history of what happened.
They told me what they think I may have and proceeded to treat, knowing that I would heal.
They massaged the knee, put the tens machine on the knee and instructed me to perform basic exercises, to strengthen calf and hamstring muscles.
Gave me a walking stick.
I had only seen the physiotherapist twice.
The physiotherapist helped me immensely. They were the facilitator and I was the keen student.
An so the journey begins…………………………..
Never looked back.
Then decided to put all the hard work into healing the knee, myself.
Ditched the pain medication. Only took it for the first week when I was in severe pain, out of desperation.
HEALING MODALATIES THAT HAVE ASSISTED ME WITH HEALING MY KNEE INJURY:
- Massaging the knee injury three times a day with Wendy’s magic essential oils: doTerra deep blue rub and doTerra ice blue essential oil
- Infra-red Heat Therapy
- Intellinetix Vibrating Therapy Wrap (godsend)
- Electric Knee Pad Relief Pain Heated Warmer Therapy Wrap Brace
- Reflexology
- Acupressure for pain
- Having tumeric/ ginger tea religiously everyday
- Ingesting MSM
- Vitamin C
- ACTIPATCH ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE THERAPY - KNEE PAIN RELIEF (godsend for pain relief)
- Isometric knee exercises ( to strengthen hamstring and calf muscles)
- Drinking plenty of water.
- Ice therapy
- Rest (is required for the first two weeks form onset of injury)
- Eating healthy foods- plenty of vegetables and fruit
- Having a positive mindset
- Taping with rock tape (make sure you use correct taping technique for your knee injury). Used this method initially however, went through too much tape.
- Using Tynor functional knee support brace for MCL,ACL and meniscus tears. (used this brace for the first three months)- great device
- Support and plenty of help from loved ones
Nearly four months have nearly come to an end and I am a living testimony that knee injuries can heal.
I can walk unaided without walking stick however still waddling like a penguin. It can take up to a year or so for injuries like mine to completely heal- so I have been told.
I am taking small baby steps every day and I see slight improvements as each day goes by.
At least I am pain free and healing each day.
With all the healing modalities I have utilised, I feel a tremendous amount of improvement in terms of being able to walk from one room to another, without pain and now using a bodigrip tubular support bandage for knee support.
Not one size fits all however, if I did not stumble across Wendy’s website, I am certain that my recovery would have taken longer.
Her recommendations just reinforced my opinions about healing.
I am grateful I stumbled across your invaluable website and I hope we can help/motivate/encourage and inspire others to take a road map, less travelled.
I healed my beautiful pet rabbit the same way.
I lovingly carried her everywhere for 8 weeks until she could go back to hopping joyfully again. She never saw a vet in 13 years of her life. I healed all her illnesses, naturally.
Love, patience, determination and a willingness to think 'outside the box', is all it takes for the right healing to take place.
Good luck and Godspeed, to everyone who is willing to heal without underestimating the beauty of our healing capabilities.
Hello Wendy,
I forgot to save my story :'(
If it does not get published can you please email my knee story to me.
Have a nice day.
Warmest Regards,
Carla
It's published! I am so glad you are doing better and thank you for sharing your story with us.
Isn't MSM amazing? I've taken it orally and also found a cream that has it and is is magical.
We got an infrared sauna and it is one of the best investments I've made.
I am going to look into some of the other things that you mentioned for my Mom. She doesn't have a tear but terrible arthritis and I am wondering if they would help her.
Hi Wendy,
MSM is great and it's one of the oral supplements I'm using to heal my ACL tear. Chunyi Lin of SpringForest Qigong has 30 minute Qigong daily practice videos and they've been fantastic for healing and would likely really help your Mom's arthritis too!
Hi Wendy. Was so happy to read your post. Recently tour ligaments in my knee. Would deep blue from Doterra be a good place to start as I don’t have all of the 4 oils you mentioned above. Could you please suggest a blend from the following as to get started: lavender, peppermint, rosemary, lemon, cederwood, ginger, frankensence, eucalyptus. Thank you.
Hi Wendy. I've just come home from having an ultrasound scan, & sure enough, I have a torn knee ligament, as I suspected. Very painful right leg. I'm not in favour of "medicines", or surgery, & am pleased to have found your website. I'll be using the essential oils you recommend, exercises (from the osteopath, hopefully), Arnica, & herbs, so grateful thanks for advice. I'm sure it will be a great help, enabling me to get back to gardening & tennis. (despite already being 84 years old).

Hi Wendy, thanks for sharing such a nice information. Turmeric plays the role of antiseptic. We can use it in any way. Keep sharing!
